Obituary & Burial

  • An Obituary for Nora Mildred Martin appeared on Sunday, 9 Feb 2014, in The Oregonian, Portland, Oregon. Janik, Nora (Martin) 92

    March 31, 1921 Jan. 30, 2014

    Nora Martin was born March 31, 1921, in St. Helens. Her father was a logger and her mother tended a small farm and three children. That simple beginning did not foretell what would become a very dynamic and productive life. As a young girl she realized that God had given her a great voice, "so as to make people happy," she wrote. She sang locally for events, including President Roosevelt at the opening of Timberline Lodge. One evening she appeared at a local talent contest wearing a buckskin outfit and in the audience was Stephen M. Janik, a part time talent scout for NBC Radio. Recognizing her five octave range and perfect pitch, he signed her to a contract. A few years later with Stephen as her manager, Nora went off to Hollywood and starred in Western movies with Gene Autry, John Wayne and other cowboys. She played the dance hall singer with a heart of gold. As WWII began, the famous radio star Eddie Cantor signed Nora to a five year contract to take over for Dinah Shore on his national radio program. During the war years she sang on the Cantor show from New York, made hundreds of appearances before returning soldiers, at military bases and hospitals. Her touring show was called "Time to Smile" which is what she brought to the soldiers. In addition, she made many appearances throughout the country selling war bonds on stage with Eddie Cantor, Bob Hope, John Wayne, Les Paul and her own group, "Pals of the Golden West." In one such 24-hour bond sale event, she raised $38 million. In 1946 she was awarded a citation for her service by the U.S. War Department. As the war wound down Nora and Stephen wanted to return to Portland and did so after V-E Day and V-J Day. They moved into Laurelhurst and joined All Saints Parish and school. They had two sons, Stephen T. in 1947 and Robert M. in 1949. Nora was a devoted mother and wife and Hollywood was in the distant past. The symbols of that life were left in the attic, except for the time she sang with Frank Sinatra to raise money for the Portland Police Assistance League and for other charities. As her sons went off to school, Nora was involved in many church, PTA and community service activities, the beginning of a growing scope of community involvement. Nora faced a challenge in 1960 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer that required radical treatment. She overcame that challenge and took that experience as a direction from God to help others similarly challenged. She joined the American Cancer Society (ACS) and went public with her story about cancer, which was not common in those days. She became the first woman to be President of the Oregon Division of the ACS. In the early '70s she developed the "Reach to Recovery Program," to help women to recover from breast cancer surgeries; established an early detection center at Good Samaritan Hospital, one of only seven in the nation; and in 1977 represented Oregon at the National Human Values and Cancer Conference. Finally, she established ACS thrift shops, not only to raise money but also to offer education. Nora received the "Order of the Red Sword," which is the ACS National Volunteer Award. In addition to her ACS work, during the decades after her own recovery, she was an officer of the YWCA, chaired the women's division of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, was an officer of the Assistance League, taught catechism to deaf children for several years, helped develop the Providence Nursery for severely impaired children, served as President of the Holy Name Auxiliary, and was a member of the West Hills Symphony Auxiliary. In her later years she was a very active member of the International Chapter P.E.O. Sisterhood that provides college scholarships to women in need. As a doting mother she took great joy in the accomplishments of her family, including attending four Harvard graduations. The following two awards bracket her decades of work for the community. In 1963 the Oregon Journal named Nora as one of the first 10 "W omen of Accomplishment" and 32 years later, in 1995, Nora was named one of six women awarded the "White Rose," saluting Women of Achievement. In her last decade Nora had to deal with numerous medical and mobility issues. She never complained and always had a bright spirit. She was buoyed by her countless friends. Her door was always open and usually a friend would be there visiting, talking about current events and families and not dwelling in the past. She had hoped to make 95 years, but 92 and 10 months was a great run. In one of her last journal entries she wrote, "The joy of giving is truly the joy of living." "Life is about friends-everyday angels." Nora's husband Stephen M. Janik predeceased her Feb. 14, 1979. Nora is survived by her sons, Stephen T. Janik and Robert M. Janik; five grandchildren, Matthew, Michelle, Aimee, Jacqueline and Thomas; and 13 great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate contributions to her special charity, P.E.O. Foundation, c/o George Jo Aas, Chapter A Treasurer. 6067 Clairmont Court, Lake Oswego, OR 97035. Private interment at Mt. Calvary Cemetery. An Irish Wake will be held at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2014, at the Multnomah Athletic Club. Valet Parking.

Memorable Moments & Stories

  • Anecdote: Nora Mildred Martin Nora Martin Janik–My Early Years in Hollywood as an Actress and Singer!

    Invite me to share my recollections of early life in Hollywood before and during WWII. I was “discovered” by Eddie Cantor, made movies with Roy Rogers and Gene Autrey, and sang with some of the most well known orchestras of the time–Paul Whitman, David Rose, Mark Warner, etc. I also sang with the great Les Paul, and helped raise millions of dollars in War Bonds. I am now 90, and though I no longer sing, I do love to speak about those early days, show you photos and memorabilia, and let you hear recordings of my songs that have been made into a CD! My program is free, but if you would like to purchase a CD, all proceeds will go to scholarships for women through the P.E.O., a philanthropic organization providing scholarships, grants, awards, and loans to motivate women to achieve their highest aspirations. http://www.peooregon.org/

    I am available to visit your facility or event in the Portland/Vancouver area.

  • Anecdote: on Friday, 28 Oct 2011, Nora Mildred Martin (90 years old) 1940s Hollywood star Nora Lou has raised $4000 for scholarships while sharing her story at local venues-Oregonian Living story by Cornelia Becker Seigneur

    http://www.corneliaseigneur.com/1940s-hollywood-star-nora-lou-has-raised-4000-for-scholarships-while-sharing-her-story-at-local-venues/

    At 91-years-old, Nora Martin Janik – then known as Nora Lou — seems to have barely slowed down from her fast paced Hollywood life in the 1940s.

    Janik, then known as Nora Lou, sang for the future king of Norway (Prince Olav), made movies with Roy Rogers and Gene Autrey, and sang with Les Paul as well as large orchestras.

    She has been sharing her fairy tale story and songs at local venues the past year, raising funds for an education scholarship fund through Philanthropic Educational Organization International, an organization that assists women.

    At an October event at Tanner Spring Assisted Living center, she raised $ 60 for P.E.O. In the past year and a half, the Nora Martin events have raised almost $ 4000 for P.E.O, said Barb Marold, who attends Willamette Christian Church in West Linn and has helped organize fundraising speaking engagements for Janik.

    Why is education important to Janik? After all, she didn’t finish high school.

    “While I was a senior, I was touring for Golden West Coffee, where my picture was on the can, and the principal (at my high school) wouldn’t let me hand in my work late, so I dropped out.”

    “I believe in education. I want to help women,” said Janik, whose two sons attended Harvard.

    In addition to her reaching out to help women get educations, she has made a difference in the lives of women affected by breast cancer. She is a survivor.

    Janik helped start American Cancer Society’s Reach to Recovery program that supports breast cancer survivors.

    But it was Janik’s love of music- especially yodeling — that overjoyed residents of Tanner Spring.

    Burnae Mae Piper, said of the Tanner Spring visit, “I lived in New York City and so well remember Nora Lou and Les Paul singing together.”

    In addition to singing for entertaining, Janik used her voice for other good causes. During World War II, she helped raise millions of dollars in War Bonds.

    She also encouraged a young soldier in a hospital who didn’t want to live anymore.

    “He was barely 18, and I told him he has his whole life ahead of him,” Janik shared.

    Later, she received a letter from that same young man, dated 1945, which included his Purple Heart.

    “I want to find him — his name is Eddie Curran– and he was on the USS Enterprise,” she added. “I want to return his Purple Heart to him.”.

    At 91, Nora Martin Janik seems to have barely slowed down from her fast-paced Hollywood life in the 1940s.

    Janik, then known as Nora Lou, sang for then-Prince Olav of Norway, made movies with Roy Rogers and Gene Autrey, and sang with Les Paul as well as large orchestras.

    Janik, who now lives in Portland, shared her fairy tale story and songs Oct. 17 with residents at the Tanner Spring Assisted Living center, offering CDs of her music as a fundraiser for an education scholarship fund through Philanthropic Educational Organization International, an organization that assists women.

    The event raised $60 for the organization. In the past year and a half, Nora Martin events have raised almost $4,000 for the organization, said Barb Marold of West Linn, who has helped organize fundraising engagements for Janik.
